Hello Sapphire Rain, The note that you speak of is a G5. High, but Hayley has hit higher notes in many other songs. The highest note in Quanta Qualia is a C6 at 3:00 which is 5 semitones higher than the note you're talking about, And highest note in malena is a G#5. The high notes in Love Love Love is, an A5. The last fading off note in "The future" is a B5. And at 1:42, Shenandoah, she hits the C6 again. C6 is Hayley's highest recorded vocals. But there was an article that says she can hit notes that humans can't hear, in ultra high frequencies. So highest to lowest in order is *Quanta qualia and Shenandoah - C6 *The future and E Pari ra (1:30) - B5 *Love Love Love - A5 *Malena and many other songs -G#5 It'll be interesting to see the highest note Hayley's hit live.... Thanks for the information Simba! How do you find out the level of vocal ranges? By ear?

I believe that her highest note is on the NZ release bonus track “God Defend New Zealand” on Treasure. You can hear it when the song is about to end. It's such a perfect and high note and I think it's way higher than the notes in QQ, Ave Maria or even Santa Lucia. cheers

Hey guys! Why isn't “ Shirobara - White Rose” there in the list? It's recorded on 2007 and it's my favorite! oh it is there, but I guess “Shirobara ~ White Rose” is better. Thanks for the list

Hello folks! I've found a classical compilation skating album on iTunes. The album's title is Figure Skating Music Best 2014-2015. The album contains the song “I'm Kissing You” as the 5th track by Hayley, which is released on her 2007 Japanese compilation “Prayer”. The album also contains one of Hayley's Ave Maria, which I don't it's version, but it's 3:41 length. There are various artists on it and it's released by Universal Classics And Jazz label. Though I couldn't find the album on anywhere else. The iTunes link: itunes.apple.com/jp/album/figure-skating-music-best/id946824451?l=enI'm so happy to see that such a favorite, abandoned, and beautiful track is released again. I guess that I'm Kissing You was recorded along with other Treasure tracks on Dublin, Ireland, but it never appeared on album because maybe it wasn't so classical.

Excuse me I remember one of you said that the title “Le Notte Del Silensio” is actually “ Le Note --” and typing Notte was an error on album. Is that true? I don't remember who said it but why it's an error?

When I was chating with Luca on Instagram directs, he said that he think this drawing isn't so much like Hayley, but I said you think that way because Hayley doesn't usually make up that way, but this pic is completely looking like The real picture. (I guess it was a World In Union or Paradiso pic) Anyway it's a unique drawing.

Yes, what could have been done with proper promotion. On the Wings of Time, and Peace Shall Come, as a single. With airplay and TV promotion how could it fail? A possible Christmas No. 1, no need for that ugly stuff from California to stop Cowell. But her record company obviously no longer believe in her. So no promotion for Winter Magic. I am so angry about this insult to the finest female singer they have ever had on their books. Are they deaf or something? On the Wings of Time is in my opinion the best track on Winter Magic. I think it would have won the poll, even if some of the voters have never heard it. Ad that viseo about how it was made is truly beautiful, even I can see that despite not speaking Japanese. Martin D Martin Well, the idea of Decca's deafness is so old and special to me! Have they ever seen the people's comments about her voice. Why wouldn't they promote her!!!! Why there's no music video? Why there is no single? Why do they make us dead confuse with thousands of editions and compilation albums? Why a lot of her gems are only released in Japan.... So there's only one thing left for me to say: HAYLEY DEE WESTENRA SHOULD LEAVE DECCA RECORDS FOR EVER. Seriously guys! What good has this label done for her? Why it left her whit no promotion? They did perfectly for Pure, but why did they stopped? We should talk to Hayley about leaving Decca. I'm quite sure that she'll find a label that understand what does she capable of. She can't go on this way. If she's not one of the most international singer it's all Decca's fault. Decca should act as Hollywood Records. I don't want it to get late

My favorite tracks are: River : kinda crazy about the perfection that waves in this song it's quite emotional and hearted. I know you know what I mean.... Veni Veni Emanuel : such a perfect track needs NO explanation Silent Night : well Hayley has recorded it 4 times, but WM version is my favorite. It's as soft as a lullaby. On The Wings Of Time : an extraordinary soprano Maori/English bonus track that has cruelly released only in JP. This song takes me back to my childhood times with my cousins in their home and the gentle rains of my favorite green jungles. It should've never been an only JP release track, but well it is.... Winter's Dream : I love it! It's another pure song for a lover couple. The Coventry Carol : Hayley songs it wonderfully alongside the choirs. I know it originally used to be sung by the mournful mothers of Bethlehem, and Hayley Sings it so emotional but in a way that doesn't make you depress. Peace Shall Come : Now I'm talking about a “one of a kind” track of WM. It's GREAT and Hayley saved her best for the last. And she is an able songwriter too. It's Only Christmas (ft. Ronan Keating) : I love this so g a lot and it has been stucked in my mind for a long time. I always dreamt that Hayley and Ronan could sing it on an ice rink while dancing on ice. It'd make a good promotional music video. I saw it on Track ID that Hayley is a dancer too!!!! But I never saw her dancing.

Yes, I do too. I don't think anyone is saying they don't like any of the tracks. I have always loved this one most of all of Hayley's albums, and I love every track on it. Every track is absolutely superb. It's splitting hairs to pick favourites. Nada Sousou is of course a bereavement song, one that I have a new understanding of since I lost my wife back in 2013. "Turning the pages of old photographs" is exactly what I spend a lot of time going, and scanning them all into my computer. Martin D Oh gosh! I'm so sorry about her. T_T I hope that you'll meet in heaven again... I know how does it feel to lost a loved one and I'm sure that Hayley knows it too and she wants to help the listeners to get a little comfortable about it. Her songs “I Am A Thousand Winds”, “Danny Boy”, “Mama E” and Nada S. are telling how to get tolerance when somebody leaves. They're not sorrow- themed songs they're only saying “it's OK I'm in peace ” And this album is my favorite too, of course the first album I earned was HSJS 2 and it was my favorite! But I wondered that it's way foolish to buy 2nd one instead of 1st at the first time! So I ordered that too and BOOOOOOM it was a superb day! Of course I had a lot of struggles in choosing my favorite albums but here goes a list: (as Hayley is so perfect I can never choose favorites ) 01. HSJS 02. HSJS 2 03. Treasure 04. Odyssey 05. Prayer (I don't care if it's a compilation) 06. Paradiso 07. Winter Magic 08. Pure 09. Hushabye 10. Hayley Westenra 11. The Best Of HSJS (a C again ) 12. My Gift To You

Hey hold on!!!! Why non of you liked Nada Sousou?? In my opinion it's the best track in the album! Her voice is shaped sooo beautifully and effortlessly in that song! You know I call this song “the highest zenith of Hayley's voice trough her career”. You know I have always imagined that it was great if it was featured on Pixar's 2009 “Up”. I know it's only a cover and Disney will never feature it, but that song completely fit the movie! the Up ends with “turning the pages of old photographs" and there's a lady that came to live in the heart of her husband. And they really sheltered each other with their smiles! Isn't it so fit? And I also liked: Time Goes Around (for cool rhythm). I Am A Thousand Winds! (for being heartly pure and emotional) Hana ( because of its natural and heavenly lyrics) Snow Flower (such a perfect track needn't explanation) PS: I don't know why but I love to call the tracks with their English names

I think “Fragrance” would be a perfect name for her upcoming album. Itseems so fit.
